Pepe and the stormtroopers
This exceptional article in the Economist looks inside what is called the Alt-Right, how it got its name, who are its supporters, how it linked up with Trump, the goals of each, and how this movement looks compared to other similar movements in American history, the attitudes towards blacks then and towards Hispanics today. The idea presented of a "cuckservative," Republicans who have sold out to moneyed interests and to liberal ideas.
The use of Twitter and social media for ideas not accepted in normal society, iconography, vernacular, use of Pepe the Frog as a cartoon character. The sometimes odd mix of Confederacy in the South, anti-immigrant in western states, agrarian nostalgia, and other ideas, all fused together into a rebellious sentiment expression.
The Alt-Right movement and its linkup with Donald Trump's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign
09/20/2016
Articles describing how the Trump campaign and the Alt-Right are drawn to each other and how it has presented rebellious sentiment during the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign. Predominantly a social media movement in its expression, it also combines elements of mysogynistic expression and contempt for current values.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
